Mr Vegas Double album for February 24 2012

Mr Vegas Double album for February 24 2012 - Jamaican-born International music star, Mr. Vegas fetes his homeland's golden anniversary with a brand new double album that explores the past 50 years in Jamaican music.

Sweet Jamaica will be released in February; Jamaica's national Reggae
Month and features a range of music from the roots of Ska in the early
1960's through the birth of Reggae and into today's contemporary
Dancehall-driven pop music culture.

Sweet Jamaica will be released to
digital and retail stores under his independently-owned MV Music imprint
on Tuesday, February 21st.

The two discs, Sweet Jamaica Reggae and Sweet Jamaica Dancehall together
feature over 30 tracks, including exclusive new material and some of
Mr. Vegas' recent smash singles. Sweet Jamaica Reggae is a fusion of
Ska, Rocksteady, and foundation Reggae rhythms.

Known for melodious
style of deejaying or rapping Mr. Vegas' abandons his usual 'sing-jay'
mode and shows off his singing talent on remakes of Toots and the
Maytals' classic, Sweet and Dandy, and Alton Ellis' Rocksteady cover of
Brenda Holloway's You Make Me Happy.

Sweet Jamaica Dancehall features Mr. Vegas' typically energetic
Dancehall delivery on recent Dancehall hits including the current
dance-driven club banger Bruk It Down, the street anthem Certain Law and
Beautiful Life. Sweet Jamaica Dancehall also includes a live version of
his internationally acclaimed gospel-flavored single, I Am Blessed.

Sweet
Jamaicais the best of Jamaican music - from the foundation until now.
Jamaica celebrates 50 years of Independence this year, and I want to
celebrate that by showcasing 50 years of Reggae," says Clifford "Mr.

Vegas" Smith.

"I am releasing this album in February, which
is the month we celebrate Reggae in Jamaica and Black History in
America. Reggae is such an important part of what makes Jamaica unique,
it is our signature sound and Reggae is key part of our culture and our
Jamaican brand. Reggae figures like Bob Marley and Dennis Brown - who
were both born in February - are important figures in music history in
the United States and throughout the world."

Sweet Jamaica's lead
single, aptly titled Sweet Jamaica, hit #1 on Reggae charts in Europe
and the United States last year, while the video peaked at #1 on the MTV
BASE Dancehall Video chart. The album's second release, Certain Law
also spent several weeks at #1 on the MTV BASE charts. Teairra Mari,
Shaggy, Luciano, Nadine Sutherland, and Jovi Rockwell are among the list
of musical guests on Sweet Jamaica.

MOBO award-winning artist,
Mr. Vegas, has been one of Jamaica's leading international forces since
his entry into the music industry in 1997. Over the past 15 years, he
has built an extensive catalogue which includes Billboard charting hits,
Heads High and Pull Up and urban radio bangers, Tek Weh Yuhself, Hot
Wuk and Gallis. Sweet Jamaica is his fifth studio album.
